Entertainment Weekly is saying Shailene Woodley has been offered the role of Mary Jane Watson in “The Amazing Spider Man 2″! Shailene is really on her way to becoming a movie star! especially after her golden globe nominated role in The Descendants. It’s amazing how bad writing/story can make her so bad in this show, but she was amazing in The Descendants. I wish her the best of luck as her career takes off.
